@bert_hubert I think this can use some extra attention: The .be registry wants to leave AWS and has created an RFP with lots of details of what they need. I think this could be the first sheep over the dam. I hope you can bring extra attention to this and a precedent can be created.

I cannot find my Minix Mini PC. Therefore, I just ordered a new one. Chances that I will find it before the new one arrives: 80%

Station security chief T'xtrt looked at the Humans going into the meeting hall next to the bar.

"One day you'll have to explain Human religion to me."

Thelma, the barkeep, shrugged. "Not sure it was wise to bring it with us."

"Anyway, I came to ask what you are. The records show you've run this bar for centuries. Humans don't live that long."

"I came with the humans."

"Yes. The records show that, too."

Thelma smiled. "Where humans can go, so can their gods."

The internet is dead. Over 99% of traffic is now from bots that repeatedly pull the same file (not even checking if it has changed or not) because either they are too lazy to cache or because bandwidth is cheaper than storage. What can we do?

The European Commission has issued a survey on the Governance and Sustainability of Critical Open Source Software.

The survey hopes to identify "pathways for collective efforts" and make "actionable recommendations for public administrations".

It's a relatively short survey, takes max 15 minutes & provides lots of opportunities to rate FOSS as 'very important' 😛

"Can you break a curse?"

"Depends," said the witch. "How was it phrased?"

"May you always roll a natural twenty."

"Damn!" The witch was appalled. "What did you do? Nevermind, I already know."

"Please! I can't enjoy the game anymore!"

"No, I can't imagine you could. But I'm not the one to ask."

It's a graph of some F-Droid servers bandwidth doubling from August 25 to 26. The top text says "Google: announcing some evil thing, again", under it another text says "F-Droid: *servers go brrr*". Above the concave graph there's the head of the F-Droid logo and the graph now looks like its smiling.
